Tomorrow, Tova and I leave for our first overseas trip in five years. Last time, we went to the USA and Canada. This time, we're off to France, Germany, Norway and Denmark. I'll finally get to see Paris and it's fair to say that we are pretty excited. We have been packing for days, and have managed to get enough stuff into one big suitcase, plus an overnight bag and backpacks.
I have had enormous enjoyment planning our itinerary, booking hotels and land travel, and it will be interesting to see what access is like, particularly on inter-country train and ferry trips. It's also twenty years since I was last in Denmark (or thereabouts), and it will be similarly interesting to see what has changed.
Finally, I'm hoping to get a new pair of shoes. My last pair of work shoes were bought five years ago in Chicago and it's time for a new pair.
More to come ....
